best of cc.com TAUNTAUNS - WORTH THE WEIGHT????

[Cobra_Commander]

is it worth bringing tauntaun/icepicks to for the evils of mt hood winter? do pings reach towers through snowbeast thank you praise the lord and his unmanned drones of justice

[olyclimber]

I've been thinking about this long and hard and i've come to the conclusion after reading this that Bill O' Reilly should stand watch at a gate, allowing only those with Tautauns large enough house the climber in its belly in emergency situations and that the mountain should be carpet bombed with flares such that one is always in arms reach in case of emergency.

WHO BURDENS TEH COST???

[Mr_Phil]

It's still Fall, folks.

[dan_forester]

heck yeah, a tauntaun is worth the weight. if you get lost, you're going to need some ladders to put in the shape of a "Y," indicating "yes, I'm here." Who's going to carry those ladders? A tauntaun, that's who.

WELL IF canadianian can afford to man all mountains why can't US? I don't understand why they can't just hunker down and climb through to the summit. I mean, if we can put a man on the moon, why not build a special suit for climbing up the mountain in 150 MPH wind or some robot that can remote control a drone robot with special arms for grabbing stuff.

[dan_forester]

sometimes, though, your tauntaun might fall into a half-mile deep crack in the glacier. or zombie jesus might bite its head off.

 

a couple of the risks you have to accept if you're crazy enough to climb IN THE WINTER.

[olyclimber]

THIS THINK TANK IS GETTING SOMEWHERE. SOMEONE CALL THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE AND TELL THEM WE MIGHT HAVE A SOLUTION.

[gapertimmy]

So I'm trying to understand this.... do you need to get a PLB for your tauntaun too?

[Mr_Phil]

I know nothing about climbing, but it seems to me that you are suicidal and endangering the populace of Dafur with your negligence.

[Cobra_Commander]

I shouldn't call again after they dropped my unmanned drones with flamethrowers idea to melt the crevices remotely.

There is NO EXCUSE not to have a tuantuan, and a PLB.

[G-spotter]

I am getting a Y tattooed on my forehead. That stands for Y, which means "Yes I have a tauntaun".

[RuMR]

I am getting a Y tattooed on my forehead. That stands for Y, which means "Yes I have screwed a tauntaun".

it's still fall, winter storms don't last as long.

[dan_forester]

well it's safer than BASE jumping I'm sure

I'll assume that they're just going to modify the 'L' that's already there.

BEHOLD!!! The Mt. Hood Mark VII Action Suit!!

[gapertimmy]

I read on wikipedia that tauntauns like to eat really big housecats. Is that true?

[dan_forester]

you otter know better than to trust what you read on wikipedia

 

[olyclimber]

KEEP THE IDEAS COMING.

[ExtremoMtDude]

LOL!

I use my tauntaun to approach some of the BURLIEST lines in all of the cascades. They are also handy for towing into RIP UP gap jumps. AND they are even hotter than g-spotter's mom, LOLz!!!!

[Hendershot]

Tauntauns smell horrible, but do the work of twenty sherpas and you don't feel bad when they get mauled by a Wampa. You just wish the smelly beasts were around to haul your frostbit ass out of a cave. Sadly, Tauntauns are disappearing as fast as our glaicers.

[LandShark]

The Land Shark would serioulsy fuck up a pussy Tauntaun. They don't even exist you idiots!!
